. A manual of dissections of the human body [electronic resource] : for the use of students and more particularly for those preparing for the higher examinations in anatomy . anterior-superior Iliac spine to the ante- rior-inferior angle of the great Trochanter. 2. From the upper end of No. 1, along the anterior two thirds of the Iliac crest, and then downwardsand backwards to a point three inches below theposterior-superior Iliac spine. 174 A MANUAL OF DISSECTIONS. Reflect the flap downwards, and expose the loose fasciaof the buttock, containing— 1. The posterior branches of the External Cutaneous nerve most anteriorly. 2. The Lateral Cutaneous branch1 of the last Dorsal nerve, crossing the Iliac crest, and running as faras the Trochanter major. 3. The Iliac branch of the Ilio-hypogastric nerve 1 pos- terior to this. 4. The external branches of the posterior primary divisions of the first three Lumbar nerves, crossingthe Iliac crest still further inwards. 5. The external branches of the posterior primary divi- sions of the first two Sacral nerves,—the upperone near the Iliac crest, the lower giving filamentsover the lower part of the surface No. 20. 1 These nerves bear an inverse ratio to one another as to theirsize. THE GLUTEUS MINIMUS. 175 II. Remove the preceding structures and expose— The fascia lata forming externally the Ilio-tibialband, above covering the Gluteus medius muscle,and dividing to enclose the Gluteus maximusmuscle. III. Eemove the fascia covering the Gluteus maximus,and reflect this muscle inwards, by dividing the upperpart of its fascial insertion and. the fleshy fibres, in aline corresponding to the lower margin of the reflectedskin. In doing this— a. The Superficial branch, of the Gluteal artery will be divided. b. The Inferior Gluteal branches of the Small Sciatic nerve will be cut, with arteries from the Sciatic. c. Branches to the reflected muscle from the part of the Sacral plexus formed by the first and second nerves wil
